An apparatus for punching and binding a stack of papers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a paper clamp and a binding element insertion device that are movable relative to each other. The binding element insertion device is configured to receive and detect binding elements of different sizes. The apparatus also includes a punching mechanism, a controller, and a user interface. The controller controls movement of the paper clamp and the binding element insertion device based on the size of the binding element needed to bind the stack of papers together. The user interface is configured to provide information to a user of the apparatus and to receive input from the user before, during, and after the punching and binding operation.

A precision balanced fishing reel incorporates a fork-mounted spool coupled to an axle that rotates upon precision bearing assemblies. The fishing reel is rotationally balanced and fabricated from lightweight and heat-tolerant materials to facilitate high speed operation with little or no vibration and wobble. The fishing reel includes a disc braking system that utilizes a rotor coupled to the spool through a clutch bearing. The clutch bearing is configured to prevent independent rotation of the spool, relative to the rotor, in an outgoing direction while permitting unrestricted rotation of the spool in an incoming direction. A brake assembly employs brake pads to control the amount of rotational drag of the rotor and spool.
